Roberto Mancini feels decisions are going against Manchester City
Last updated on .From the section Football

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini feels the penalty his side conceded in their win at Fulham was the latest key decision to go against them recently.
City won 2-1 after falling behind when referee Mark Halsey adjudged Pablo Zabaleta fouled John Arne Riise.
"It was out of the box and it was no foul, no penalty," Mancini said.
"There were a lot of mistakes in the past four games. We accept this, but we're not happy. We can do nothing, only continue to play."
Sergio Aguero equalised before half-time and Edin Dzeko came off the bench to score an 87th-minute winner for Mancini's men, who went into the game without a victory in four games in all competitions.
City had to battle to break down a determined Fulham defence and Mancini felt their job at Craven Cottage was made more even harder by Fulham's early spot-kick.
"Against Fulham here it is always difficult," the City boss said. "They are a good team, have good players, a good manager.
"This pitch is always tough for us but the problem is we were 1-0 down and I don't know why because the penalty was not a penalty.
"Sometimes it is a penalty but the referee is there to take a decision. Sometimes he does well, sometimes he can do bad.
"If we go to watch all our last three games, against Stoke it was handball (for Peter Crouch's goal). I don't know why the referee that was behind didn't give it. Against Arsenal there was one penalty [we should have been awarded].
"We were 1-0 down and Fulham didn't shoot on goal for the first 20 minutes.
"That was a problem but I am happy because the players continued to play well, kept calm and we had a lot of chances."

No wonder I follow other sports more than I do football now
Or say why you believe fining refs part of their match fees for making errors is in YOUR opinion, wrong.
Rather than trying to silence me because I happen to hold a different opinion from your deluded one?
Refs need to be accountable, even if you don't think they do.
Change the record for gawd's sake. It's not funny and it's no true. Come up with something original.
Furthermore David Silva bounced back to produce a performance that was World Class with Tevez and Aguero defending from the front and putting the Fulham defence under constant pressure.
The scoreline flattered Fulham but all our critics and certainly the ANTI MCFC brigade now now they are back!!!
Refs should be demoted and fined if they make bad decisions. Their mistakes would clear up almost overnight....
No we never see Fergie moaning do we... how many minutes of extra time does he want as four is clearly not enough????
Which planet do you live on? just check penalties against Man U at OT over the past ten years. Take the rose tinteds off when you do so, it might help your vision and perception.
Absolute classic, moaning that refs are in control of the amount of time that is played!! He was more than happy with it when refs added ridiculous amounts of injury time!! Ha Ha Ha!! Only City win in Fergie Time!! The Blue Moon rises over the Theatre of Screams!
Do i smash Ballotelli's back doors in?... as i haven't got a key to get in and wake him up for some heavy training.

"Barton being sent off when Tevez started it"
- you're right. assaulting 2 players isn't at all worthy of a red card.
"5 mins of injury time v QPR"
- thanks to that completely unjustified red card for Barton. irrelevant though, as they only needed 3 of them.
"no team ever gets penalties against (city)."
- if you'd taken the time to read the above article...

Mr "Carlos Tevez will never play for city again" - Tevez made you all look silly....

"Are they questioning the integrity of the referees?"
No I dont think they are, they are challenging the refs competance, which is totally understandable seeing how many games these muppets decide rather than the players. Refs are usually people who were poor players and transfer their inadquacies to the black when they ref.
